TASMANIA

I LOVE IT HERE! It is so beautiful! Its a magical mix between San Fransisco and England. Like super hilly like San Fran and all the houses are so quaint and old. Its still been pretty chilly here. Its starting to warm up. kind of like early spring in Texas. 

They dont really believe in heating here so you know I'm freezing all the time. So I'm finally getting to wear some of my scarves and sweaters! The people are sooooo kind. Everyone loves to have us over and feed us. The food is to die for good. The lollies (candy) are delish! So much cadburry chocolate! What we would call the bathroom they call the toilet. So when we are at someones house we say, "Can I use your toilet?" Its strange. and the toilet is just the toilet no sink or mirror, that always in a separate room with the bathtub or shower. Thats how our flat (apartment) is set up too. so just the toilet in a closet down stairs, and the shower with a sink and mirror upstairs. 

I got to watch conference twice because they get it a week later here! So that was awesome! I'm adjusting to the time difference aright. I start to get pretty tired around 5 and most our lessons are in the evening so I just feel pretty useless because I'm so tired and cant focus. I wake up pretty early and then try to go back to sleep. My companion is awesome! Her name is Sister Hatch. I actually stalked her blog before my mission. So if you are going the Melbourne mission and blogstalking right now I could be your companion one day! I SAW WALLABEES the other day! they were so cute! I havent seen any crazy spiders or anything, but I'm always on the look out for them, cause I'd like to live to make it back home in a year and half. 

They have nicknames for everything here. Like university is uni, they call Tasmania tazy. I think its hilarious that you can drink water from the tap in Tasmania but it will make you sick in Las Vegas. Pretty crazy. This mission does things so differently than we did in Vegas. Gotta make a lot of adjustments. Everyone wants me to have a thick Texas accent and they are all so disappointed when my accent isnt super thick. I'm gonna have to work on that. Love this place, the people, and the food!
